yay i found stripey over the knee socks (well tights actually, as for the material) way cheap today at Penney's. not a very broad selection: solids in dark red, navy, several blacks (ribbed, smooth, heathered with grey, etc), a dusky purple, white, etc. stripes were the dusky purple - 3 shades of stripes. i didn't like the color very much though. it's a very 'greyish' purple. stripes also include - red 3 shades, and black/grey 3 shades. the best is that they're $6 each, or 3 for $12, and my 3 rang up as $10 and change (must've been more sale i didn't notice). and they're very comfortable. soft and with a very wide top band (no unsightly bulge). so for the price, it's pretty great. how much are the target ones, btw?
